The maximal damage with fresh air you can achieve is 10/30/10/10/10 berzerker’s scholar runes traits IV, VI X XII, VI, VI , IV or I. imo S/F is better than S/D since it can preserve you at >90% for longer and less obligation to go balls deep into the fray but that’s your call.

The supposedly balanced scepter build is supposedly 0/20/0/20/30 with soldiers+zerk jewel but imo not going all or nothing is very lack-luster.

Just make sure to keep switching back into air when you have a target, even if nothing in air is up, so you keep getting the static discharge on people.

Focus is nice in theory because you can use the condi clear in earth instead of putting it on your healing skill, since you get destroyed without signet on. If that isn’t enough, you can go immune. Just don’t spam all your skills and waste your cds when you don’t need them. Not that you do that.

I still play D/D and try to bunker. I just hate how it takes forever to switch auto-attack targets with scepter. If they fixed that I’d use it a lot more often cause the damage in air is great.

It doesn’t really matter what heal you have. You get destroyed if they start looking at you ;D

With scholar runes and Vital Striking the glyph/ether renew is better for staying >90%, with signet once you get hit your damage suffers alot but it lets you keep damaging without having to pause to heal.

With focus it’s also possible to stay off-point and harrass people staying on point with Swirling Winds instead of committing.

You can’t be a glass cannon as an ele. the best you can be is a glass slingshot. If you want to be able to hit for 32k with a single skill (yes that is possible) roll a warrior.

30/30/0/10/0 Berserker’s with Scholar runes is massively OP.

Against golems.

No. The +20% damage steroid traits from x/30/10/10/x gives you more damage than the 300 power from the fire line.

I kinda like the 30 seconds of Fury I get outta Persistent Flames with a scepter/dagger Fire + Arcane Wave combo, but okay.

I personally don’t like having S/D thieves stealing all my might stacks and long duration fury and end up being detrimental to the team let alone carry my own weight.

Dealing ‘big’ damage without being reliant on boons is one of the reasons Fresh Air is ‘strong’ in this meta.
